download unzipped easily, but difficult to find the location where the executable file ended up... in a remote temp folder

Cons

didn't do what I wanted. No conversion to icon, just renamed the extension.
Now I have the fun time to try and uninstall it. It does not show up in control panel or start menu. Need to edit the registry.

Summary

CNET is so unreliable these days

Pros

I did not get to try this software.

Cons

Laden with piggy-back "clean your PC" and Adware. I haven't downloaded any other software in a couple months. Three different files 2 of which didn't want to be unistalled.

Summary

I am quite disappointed that this software came so highly rated by CNET ---> trusted by me for years, to provide the best options for software downloads. You lost some credibility with me today.

Pros

It converts to smaller pics great.

Cons

Could not get it to enlarge pics though. Tried to set to enlarge but it just reduced instead.

Summary

Depends on what your looking for.

Pros

After installation, able to compress down (75) immediately photos in a folder and point to an entirely different output folder. Wow! Worked very well and quickly. Very impressive!

Cons

None so far

Summary

If what you want is the capability to quickly reduce the size of photo(s), this is the product for you. Works quickly and minimum of learning required. I can now 'shrink' down image sizes and email them or post them online much more easily. Great product.

I like the product; one irritating 'feature' that I wish it would eliminate is when I want the photos to be modified to be in the same folder - in other words, just modify the photos. It would be better to have a Check Box option so it would not ask me on every photo if I realize that it's in the same folder and will wipe out the original. Otherwise, pretty happy with the product.
